I am an old telco guy having spent 23 years working for the biggest telco in the US in their CO's. I tend to think something funny with the channel bank or the channel units. Seen that happen many times working for them.
I assume the wiring is good and not 'wet'. If it was underground or in a damp environment... I would go back to thinking chan bank with FXS channel units, not DAHDI channels. It will focus the attention where you have power supplies(-24 or -48 volt talk battery and ringing current with trip battery super-imposed) and all the electronic things that can go wrong with that and the detecting of offhook state. It would be easy for the electronics to think the phone was offhook when ringing, but not when supplying only talk battery when the channel units or power supply goes flakey.
